STORA ENSO OYJ PRESS RELEASE 28 September 2009 at 06.00 GMT

Stora Enso is restarting production at Enocell Pulp Mill in Finland.
The restart is supported by the improvement in the market situation since the
beginning of the summer. However, the market situation remains very challenging.
The objective in the short and long term is to improve competitive business
conditions for Enocell Pulp Mill to secure its economic viability.
Enocell Pulp Mill at Uimaharju in eastern Finland has been temporarily shut down
since the end of March 2009. Production at the mill is scheduled to resume at
the beginning of November 2009.
